sunshine in the cloud, warm in the sunshine and in actualfact, across south—west england, we started bridges into the mid 20s. a beautiful sunday afternoon for many. the next few days look likely to stay quite quiet across the whole of the country. quite a lot of dry weather around as well, but it will be mostly cloudy, and i suspect the temperatures easing awayjust a touch, around average if we're very lucky. high pressure still dominates the story. it's a blocking high that's preventing weather fronts from moving in off the atlantic. but a little bit more of a breeze always down towards the south, and that's going to continue to push this cloud in off the north sea, which could be taken off on monday morning for a spot or two of drizzle. favoured western areas, perhaps as we go through the afternoon, seeing some sunny spells, but i suspect not as much as recent days. so, the temperatures not as high. cool in the cloud and drizzle, 15—17 degrees, maximum values of 21, possibly 22. now, that cloud will continue to push back in off the north sea through the night. that's going to act like a blanket. it's not going to be a cold night,

with overnight lows perhaps staying into mid—teens for some. it will be a quiet start to tuesday, but once again, a rather grey and gloomy one. the high pressure keeping things very quiet, but again, that breeze just coming in off the north sea, and a few more isobars, so the breeze picking up, and the cloud will continue to sit across the country for much of the day. favoured spots for any brighter, sunnier spells perhaps into northern ireland and western fringes of scotland once again, but those temperatures are going to be a little bit more subdued. again, we're looking at maybe around 15—19 celsius at the very best. wednesday is the beginning of september. the high pressure is still with us, little in the way of significant change to the weather story. so, i suppose the good news is you will be able to plan ahead. there's going to be a lot of dry weather to look out for. and maybe on wednesday, more sunshine coming through scotland, northern england and northern ireland. top temperatures in the sunnier moments maybe of 21 or 22 degrees. it looks likely that that dry theme

is set to continue as well thursday into friday. no significant rain in the forecast of the next few days to come. enjoy. hello, this is bbc news with lukwesa burak. we'll be taking a look at tomorrow morning's papers in a moment. first, the headlines. with the us withdrawal due to conclude on tuesday, time is running out for afghans still desperate to leave. the flights are almost over. what are you going to do now? what about us? we are working with them, we support them. the last planes carrying uk troops home from afghanistan, have been landing at raf brize norton. their arrival marks the end

of britain's 20—year military campaign in the country. more explosions as the us carries out another air strike, this time in kabul. officials say an "imminent isis—k threat" has been stopped. hurricane ida makes landfall on the louisiana coast with wind speeds of up to 150 miles per hour, forcing thousands of people to leave their homes. this is going to be a devastating, devastating hurricane, _ a life—threatening storm. hello and welcome to our look ahead to what the papers will be bringing us tomorrow. with me are benedicte paviot from france 2a and graeme brown from the birmingham mail.

it's lovely to have you both with me tonight. i'll chat in a moment. the i leads with a full page splash on british troops arriving back in the uk after being deployed to help the afghan evacuation effort. the paper says dominic raab has been accused of leaving behind at least 1,000 more afghans who could have been saved. the telegraph shows a picture of president biden paying his respects to us servicemen who lost their lives in this week's terrorist attack in afghanistan. the paper says afghan special forces personnel could become a new regiment of the army akin to the gurkhas under proposals. sticking with afghanistan, the ft covers the news that the us says a drone strike foiled fresh attack on the kabul airlift as the deadline nears. expanding on that story,

the times warns that the uk is now significantly less safe after the taliban takeover of kabul. that's based on the assessment of former army commanders, diplomats and mps. the guardian says that borisjohnson and other world leaders have received assurances from the taliban that foreign nationals and those with authorisation to flee afghanistan will be free to leave. moving away from events in afghanistan, the daily mail reports on figures that show that in some parts of the country less than half of patients currently see their gp face—to—face. so, that was a nice flavour of some of those front pages. very good evening to you. we are going to start with the ft. benedicte, you're going to get us

off. drone strike fully old —— foiled a fresh strike on the airlift. ,., ., , airlift. good evening. yes, interesting. _ airlift. good evening. yes, interesting. another - airlift. good evening. yes, l interesting. another drone airlift. good evening. yes, - interesting. another drone strike. this one is described by the us military as a self—defense air strike on a vehicle in the afghan capital kabul. it was approaching the airport, and according again to americans, it's the proof that this was indeed full of explosives. there were secondary explosions, and the culprits behind this would be attack, it seems, are the so—called isis k, the local branch of the islamist terror group. the very same ones who claimed responsibility for thursday's attack that was so bloody at abbey gate that killed we know three britons, 13 us marines and i

think the toll keeps on going up. about 170 afghan civilians and british nationals who were desperately trying to reach that gate, desperately trying to be evacuated and what has been absolutely extraordinary two weeks. despite all the points deserved, what is very clear is the huge military effort — whether it's the british military — the us airlift and french military operations which stopped in kabul on friday. what this article also talks about briefly is the us security council meeting on monday, and there is a british — french push to secure a safe zone for this promise to

continue airlifting, whether it's us, british, french or other nationals. and of course afghan citizens who have worked with those. graeme? . ~ , ., , graeme? yeah, i think the ft signals what could be — graeme? yeah, i think the ft signals what could be the _ graeme? yeah, i think the ft signals what could be the future _ graeme? yeah, i think the ft signals what could be the future of— graeme? yeah, i think the ft signals what could be the future of coverage | what could be the future of coverage about _ what could be the future of coverage about this _ what could be the future of coverage about this. we've seen all of the uk military— about this. we've seen all of the uk military return, and what we're now seeing _ military return, and what we're now seeing is _ military return, and what we're now seeing is the bloodiest side. this is what _ seeing is the bloodiest side. this is what would've been the second suicide _ is what would've been the second suicide attack foiled. so, we're starting — suicide attack foiled. so, we're starting to— suicide attack foiled. so, we're starting to tackle what we're going to see _ starting to tackle what we're going to see here. obviously, there are something — to see here. obviously, there are something like 9000 people trapped in afghanistan, and our hope is we

female us marine who had said i think on facebook that she loved her job and she was holding a small afghan baby. within 2a to 48 hours, afghan baby. within 24 to 48 hours, she tragically died in thursday's isis k terrorist attack. what incredible emotions the various armies and others must have been going through, risking their lives. what i think is important to remember is, of course, the 457 british dead. all those who have lost limbs and those who are here, backin lost limbs and those who are here, back in the uk, and for whom this is absolutely must be torture. i think that mps like tobias ellwood and the conservative party have been really

voicing that anguish that they, having served tours in afghanistan, are feeling incredible turmoil. i've been running an errand and found myself speaking to a mother of a british soldier who had been in iraq and afghanistan, and she described others who had lost sons. the i think if we can reach out to families who may not have to seen a tour of duty recently, but sometime ago, i think we need to support them and i think the government needs to do much more to support them and their mental health.— their mental health. benedicte, thank ou their mental health. benedicte, thank you so — their mental health. benedicte, thank you so much _ their mental health. benedicte, thank you so much considering | their mental health. benedicte, i thank you so much considering you didn't have that front page in front of you. i really appreciate that. graeme, we have that picture there, with a royal air force aircraft and

some of the crew disembarking from that plane. i want to ask you about some of the criticism that has been leveled at the government. you heard what boris johnson leveled at the government. you heard what borisjohnson said. he said they got on with the job, but when you look at criticism within the conservative party itself, johnny mercer described it as a catastrophe, a shameful exit. the most important — catastrophe, a shameful exit. the most important thing to say is the nrilitary— most important thing to say is the military forces have been absolutely nothing _ military forces have been absolutely nothing short of heroic, but i told you _ nothing short of heroic, but i told you there— nothing short of heroic, but i told you... there is a change in the rhetoric — you... there is a change in the rhetoric it— you... there is a change in the rhetoric. it also feels like that with _ rhetoric. it also feels like that with regard to government. up to 9000 _ with regard to government. up to 9000 people who could be eligible who have been left behind. i think the bigger— who have been left behind. i think the bigger thing that's going to come _ the bigger thing that's going to come in — the bigger thing that's going to come in parliament is the decision

extraordinary headline. - like the gurkhas. this is quite an extraordinary headline. that - like the gurkhas. this is quite an extraordinary headline. that is i | extraordinary headline. that is i think an article that many people will want to read. indeed, afghan special forces could become a new regiment of the army, much like the gurkhas, under proposals put forward to ministers. apparently hundreds of commanders from afghanistan have arrived in the uk after training and serving with british troops for more than a decade. now, that, i think, is quite interesting. it'll be interesting to see what the opposition has to say about that, and how the army feels about that at and how the army feels about that at a time when we've had so many army cuts. i'm not quite sure what to think of it at the time. but there's no doubt they've been given an awful lot of training. a lot of that training was not sufficient when

americans decided to pull out, i think, withjust about americans decided to pull out, i think, with just about no consultation, that the army was hollowed out, the afghan army. yeah, i think... hollowed out, the afghan army. yeah, ithink... i'd like hollowed out, the afghan army. yeah, i think... i'd like to find out more. that's quite a proposition. it certainly is. graeme, i wonder if you could take us to the other story from the same paper. that is that the taliban, or rather the us drone strike has killed suicide bombers. it shows president biden paying tribute to the fallen soldiers. ~ , ,., , �* ., soldiers. absolutely, we're a few hours on from — soldiers. absolutely, we're a few hours on from the _ soldiers. absolutely, we're a few hours on from the us _ soldiers. absolutely, we're a few hours on from the us carrying i soldiers. absolutely, we're a few| hours on from the us carrying out this action — hours on from the us carrying out this action against a group headed towards _ this action against a group headed towards the airport. the telegraph,

you've got the diplomatic personnel, the french ambassador, had onlyjust been extracted. they stayed very much, french soldiers to get as many people out of kabul as possible. very interesting in an interview that was given by emmanuel macron, who just been that was given by emmanuel macron, whojust been in iraq. he was talking about discussions with the taliban to allow, and i'm translating, afghans who are at risk at least to be evacuated beyond the 315t at least to be evacuated beyond the 31st of august. this date has been fixed by the americans. but in another interview, the french president says, "do not confuse talking to the taliban with recognising the taliban as the legitimate government." we need to see acts. again, to talk about the

article, it talks about france and britain being expected to table in emergency un security resolution. france in the uk work often on issues like this together, and they clearly are very much working on this together for any new afghan government to back a safe zone at kabul airport to allow efforts to continue. it's interesting, at whitehall, the french president comments were claimed to be immature. i think the british government was wanting to control the news a little more, but the french president has spoken, and clearly, these negotiations are ongoing and this meeting will be very important to know the huge hopeful for the british very important to know the huge hopefulfor the british nationals who have been left behind, and for the afghans who have been left behind. whether it's 1000 the afghans who have been left behind. whether it's1000 more or

in sheltered western areas, again, some brighter spells and highs of 20 degrees. we keep the cloud coming as we go through the night. that's going to prevent those temperatures from falling very far at all. it'll be a mild start to tuesday morning, but once again, it is going to be a rather cloudy one. always closer along that east coast where it could stay damp and drizzly. hopefully the cloud should break a little out to the west, but not as much as we've seen in recent days, and as a result, temperatures are going to be a little more subdued.
